on the look out, unexpected guide,surprises

I do not tire of watching the greedy walk of pigeons - the way their heads move from side to side as they waddle forward searching for tidbits on left and right.

Outside The Ragged Trousers in the Pantiles, a couple have a drink and meal. On the table in front of them is a guide to St Petersburg.

I seldom go anywhere without my compact camera. I take photographs on most days. Sometimes I forget what I have photographed with the result that quite often there are, as today, some pleasant surprises on the memory card, things I have completely forgotten as though someone else has been using it.

About Me

Compasses

Following their Handbook for Explorers collaboration on the Compasses site (link below), Lucy Kempton and I are working together on a new venture, Questions. This is a series of poems submitted by each of us alternately, and prompted in the case of each poem by the previous poem and a new question. It is a process of adventure and discovery. Join us for the ride.http://www.compasses-lucyandjoe.blogspot.com/
